Elections for the Community Council take place each year in August. We are an organized group of parents and faculty who meet regularly to discuss the LAND Trust funding and plan, the School Improvement Plan, as well as the successes and needs of our school. Please consider attending meetings and/or becoming a member. This is one of the many ways that we encourage our school community to become involved in the education process.
FYI DID YOU KNOW…
UTAH RECEIVED 7 MILLION ACRES OF LAND AT STATEHOOD TO GENERATE FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS AND ALMOST HALF OF THE LAND REMAINS IN A TRUST FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION. THE SCHOOL AND INSTITUTIONAL TRUST LANDS ADMINISTRATION (SITLA) MANAGES THE TRUST LAND. THE SCHOOL AND INSTITUTIONAL TRUST FUNDS OFFICE (SITFO) INVESTS THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND A PORTION OF THE EARNINGS COMES TO OUR SCHOOL EACH YEAR.
Our School Community Council is primarily responsible for the creation of our School LAND Trust Plan. This plan is created annually by analyzing our school testing data to determine the greatest academic need. The money our school receives from the School LAND Trust fund is allocated according to our plan. Over the years our school has purchased technology to support student learning, books for our leveled library, math manipulatives, science materials, and we’ve been able to hire additional personnel to support targeted learning in small groups. Our school is grateful for the School LAND Trust program and the opportunity we have as a school to allocate the funds to support our targeted and specific needs. The Council assists with school improvement, and make decisions on how to best spend the Trust LANDS funding. More information regarding the work of the Council and the current plan can be found by visiting theSchool LAND Trust Website.
